If !CONFIG_USERNS, have current_user_ns() defined to (&amp;init_user_ns).

Get rid of _current_user_ns.  This requires nsown_capable() to be
defined in capability.c rather than as static inline in capability.h,
so do that.

Request_key needs init_user_ns defined at current_user_ns if
!CONFIG_USERNS, so forward-declare that in cred.h if !CONFIG_USERNS
at current_user_ns() define.

Compile-tested with and without CONFIG_USERNS.

- Introduce ns_capable to test for a capability in a non-default
  user namespace.
- Teach cap_capable to handle capabilities in a non-default
  user namespace.

The motivation is to get to the unprivileged creation of new
namespaces.  It looks like this gets us 90% of the way there, with
only potential uid confusion issues left.

I still need to handle getting all caps after creation but otherwise I
think I have a good starter patch that achieves all of your goals.

Changelog:
	11/05/2010: [serge] add apparmor
	12/14/2010: [serge] fix capabilities to created user namespaces
	Without this, if user serge creates a user_ns, he won't have
	capabilities to the user_ns he created.  THis is because we
	were first checking whether his effective caps had the caps
	he needed and returning -EPERM if not, and THEN checking whether
	he was the creator.  Reverse those checks.
	12/16/2010: [serge] security_real_capable needs ns argument in !security case
	01/11/2011: [serge] add task_ns_capable helper
	01/11/2011: [serge] add nsown_capable() helper per Bastian Blank suggestion
	02/16/2011: [serge] fix a logic bug: the root user is always creator of
		    init_user_ns, but should not always have capabilities to
		    it!  Fix the check in cap_capable().
	02/21/2011: Add the required user_ns parameter to security_capable,
		    fixing a compile failure.
	02/23/2011: Convert some macros to functions as per akpm comments.  Some
		    couldn't be converted because we can't easily forward-declare
		    them (they are inline if !SECURITY, extern if SECURITY).  Add
		    a current_user_ns function so we can use it in capability.h
		    without #including cred.h.  Move all forward declarations
		    together to the top of the #ifdef __KERNEL__ section, and use
		    kernel-doc format.
	02/23/2011: Per dhowells, clean up comment in cap_capable().
	02/23/2011: Per akpm, remove unreachable 'return -EPERM' in cap_capable.

<title>CRED: Fix __task_cred()'s lockdep check and banner comment</title>

<content type='text'>
Fix __task_cred()'s lockdep check by removing the following validation
condition:

	lockdep_tasklist_lock_is_held()

as commit_creds() does not take the tasklist_lock, and nor do most of the
functions that call it, so this check is pointless and it can prevent
detection of the RCU lock not being held if the tasklist_lock is held.

Instead, add the following validation condition:

	task-&gt;exit_state &gt;= 0

to permit the access if the target task is dead and therefore unable to change
its own credentials.

Fix __task_cred()'s comment to:

 (1) discard the bit that says that the caller must prevent the target task
     from being deleted.  That shouldn't need saying.

 (2) Add a comment indicating the result of __task_cred() should not be passed
     directly to get_cred(), but rather than get_task_cred() should be used
     instead.

Also put a note into the documentation to enforce this point there too.

<title>CRED: Fix get_task_cred() and task_state() to not resurrect dead credentials</title>
<updated>2010-07-29T22:16:17+00:00</updated>

<id>de09a9771a5346029f4d11e4ac886be7f9bfdd75</id>
<content type='text'>
It's possible for get_task_cred() as it currently stands to 'corrupt' a set of
credentials by incrementing their usage count after their replacement by the
task being accessed.

What happens is that get_task_cred() can race with commit_creds():

	TASK_1			TASK_2			RCU_CLEANER
	--&gt;get_task_cred(TASK_2)
	rcu_read_lock()
	__cred = __task_cred(TASK_2)
				--&gt;commit_creds()
				old_cred = TASK_2-&gt;real_cred
				TASK_2-&gt;real_cred = ...
				put_cred(old_cred)
				  call_rcu(old_cred)
		[__cred-&gt;usage == 0]
	get_cred(__cred)
		[__cred-&gt;usage == 1]
	rcu_read_unlock()
							--&gt;put_cred_rcu()
							[__cred-&gt;usage == 1]
							panic()

However, since a tasks credentials are generally not changed very often, we can
reasonably make use of a loop involving reading the creds pointer and using
atomic_inc_not_zero() to attempt to increment it if it hasn't already hit zero.

If successful, we can safely return the credentials in the knowledge that, even
if the task we're accessing has released them, they haven't gone to the RCU
cleanup code.

We then change task_state() in procfs to use get_task_cred() rather than
calling get_cred() on the result of __task_cred(), as that suffers from the
same problem.

Without this change, a BUG_ON in __put_cred() or in put_cred_rcu() can be
tripped when it is noticed that the usage count is not zero as it ought to be,
for example:

Now that nobody ever changes subprocess_info-&gt;cred we can kill this member
and related code.  ____call_usermodehelper() always runs in the context of
freshly forked kernel thread, it has the proper -&gt;cred copied from its
parent kthread, keventd.

<title>rcu: Use wrapper function instead of exporting tasklist_lock</title>

Lockdep-RCU commit d11c563d exported tasklist_lock, which is not
a good thing.  This patch instead exports a function that uses
lockdep to check whether tasklist_lock is held.

    CRED: Separate task security context from task_struct

I think.

It's way too large to be inlined anyway.

Dunno if this needs an EXPORT_SYMBOL() yet.
